We love to camp!

We went camping this last weekend with my family and we had a blast!! We went up to Mantua Reservoir. We didn't realize that the reservoir was going to be closed for "Mantua days" so they could have some boat shows on the water, however they still would allow you to go swimming but due to the "swim at your own risk" sign posted near the beach and the sign below it that said "swimming prohibited by the health department" we decided against the whole swimming idea. The kids had found a little rope swing down at the creek by our campsite that they had fun with so we just decided to let them hang out there instead of getting some disease. They didn't care as long as they were able to be in the water. We even got to enjoy a few fireworks from the firework show Saturday night.

This is the great fun they had on the rope swing. I don't know what we would have done without it.

Looks like you had so much fun. We are going up to our cabin tomorrow for the 24th. Just for the day, but we will at least get out of this heat for a little bit. :)
